Call for Papers:
This conference brings together researchers interested in the study of
linguistic evidentiality. We invite submissions on various aspects of
evidentiality, including:
1. Detailed analysis of evidential systems or markers in specific
languages;
2. Typological studies or comparative analysis of evidentiality across
languages;
3. Exploration of the interactions between evidentiality and its
related categories such as epistemic modality, egophoricity,
mirativity, tense, aspect, person, among others;
4. Investigations into the grammaticalization of evidentiality;
5. Examination of evidentiality in any theoretical framework.
We adhere to the narrow definition of evidentiality, i.e., grammatical
encoding of information source, so please be advised that research
solely concentrated on lexical expressions of information source will
not be accepted. While the conference spotlights the study of
evidentiality in East Asian Languages, submissions concerning
languages from other regions are also welcome.
Submission of Abstracts:
Each talk will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes
for discussion. Please send your abstract to jap.conference at um.edu.mo.
The abstract should not exceed 2 pages in length (A4 or letter-size)
with 1-inch/2.5-cm margins, inclusive of examples and selected
references. Please use Times New Roman font, size 12 pt, and maintain
single spacing throughout. Submissions must include TWO versions of
the abstract: one containing your name and affiliation (in both PDF
and WORD formats) and another version without the information (in PDF
format). All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Only accepted
abstracts will be invited for presentation.
